Window does not slightly up/down to seal also window too high
I thought the window is suppose to slightly go up and down when door is open. Mine does not. Also both windows are going up too high and when the door closes the window is outside the rubber seals.
Any help please...I was told it is the module, but I can't seem to research any info on this part/problem

Check the seals around windows and tops. They may be too old and need replacing. Also check alignment of seals with the window. Could be putting top up and down has them slightly out of place.
Tests/Procedures:
1. Check the power and ground at the master switch mount in the dash. Pin 12 is power at key on and pin 4 is the ground.
2. Next try driving the left front window by applying power to pins 13 and 14, switch polarity should drive the window up and down. If not, check for broken wires in the between "A" pillar and the door, then gain access to the window motor and try applying right at the motor.
Tests/Procedures:
1. Check the outside door handle switch. It should ground the Orange/Yellow wire when the handle is raised.
Tech Tips:
The power window should drop slightly whenever the door is opened. The ensures a tighter seal to the convertible top.
The right side can be unlocked with the key, once opened, the left side can be opened. Mine, the left side requires me to push in slightly while ensuring the release handle is pulled to it's furthest point before it will unlatch. If the electrical contacts at the door frame are dirty, the door may not unlock when pushing the button up front thus requiring the key to be used in the rear door. If this is not the solution, the latch rods inside the door need adjusted which requires some mechanical expertise.
There is a wax you can buy to rub around the rubber surround where the door and windows contact. I don't remember where i got my last stick from but I would think a candle would work too.
You are trying to stop the glass/frame sticking together. So, rub wax on them and see if this helps. The windows are supposed to drop slightly when you pull on the door handle. If they don't, it usually means the window module has lost it's position memory.
Continue to hold the window switch down for 5 seconds after it reaches it's lower limit. Do the same for fully up position....this sets the modules limits memory and windows should drop as handle pulled to open the door..
First open your drivers door. Now while holding the switch to go up or down....wiggle the wire harness between the door and the truck. Try this while moving the door from slightly closed to fully open. Try slightly wiggling some under the dash if thats not it. There sometimes are wires under the carpet for the windows....push down on a few spots while holding your switch also. Hope this helps to locate the problem
I had the same problem. The window goes up to high because a L shaped bracket has come off the window.This bracket basically restricts the height of the window. Take the door panel off retrive the bracket that is roaming free inside your door and glue back on.There are 2 brackets both glued to the window.one sits on the outside of the window the other ontop of that but inside.Use a strong glue otherwise it will keep happening. To anwer the first point the window is not supposed to go down.
My wife's car is a 2004 convertible. We had the same problem. There is a switch built into the door latch assembly. Whenever you pull either the interior or exterior door handle, the switch lowers the door glass a certain amount.
We replaced the door latch assembly and that corrected the problem.
